Munsinger Scores In 6 to O Upset
By MIKE O'DONNELL
In the season's greatest intramural football upset Friday afternoon, the heavily favored Beta Theta Pi eleven fell before a gallant, hard-fighting Theta Tau underdog by a score of 6-0. The Theta Tau touchdown came early in the first quarter on a 25-yard
"The team that scores in the last minute of play," the Kansas Jayhawks, invades Norman Saturday to see what can be done about upsetting the Oklahoma Sooners once again.
Sooners Fear Last Minute Kansas Finish
In 1939 the Jayhawks' last minute touchdown came after Oklahoma had already amassed 27 points and so did no damage. But it did bring back memories of those touchdowns in the dying seconds of the 1937 and 1935 games at Norman, in which Kansas snatched victory right out of the grasp of favored Sooner elevens.
The 1937 contest was an especially bitter pill for the Oklahomaans to swallow, as an O.U. victory seemed so certain. Tom Stidham was in his first

season as Sooner coach and the Ok-
lahoma eleven had tied Nebraska the
previous week.
Pushing Kansas all over the field through most of the first three quarters, the Sooners compromised with a tough Jayhawk goal line defense by settling for a field goal and led 3-0 as the game was drawing in a close.
Passing desperately, the K.U. team started to move from its own 20 yard line. With the ball on the Oklahoma 47 yard line, Don Ebling, heaved a long pass down the field, which was deflected by a Sooner back, attempting to bat the ball down.
Catching the ball on his fingertips, Dick Amerine, fleet Kansas halfback, got a firmer grip on it and headed for the corner of the field. There was

The other games of the afternoon were all six-man affairs. The Blanks continued to roll along at a fast clip, piling up a 35-0 win over the Union Fountainees. Phi Gam "B" edged out Sig Alph "B" 15-12 in a close-fought battle. Phi Psi "B" went on a scoring spree, tramping a Sig Ep "B" to pieces by a count of 45-6.
The shock of Theta Tau's score in the opening minutes of their game with the Beta's, seemed to throw the Beta's out of stride for the remainder of the contest. In the second quarter, a series of passes from Bill Mowery to John Short and "Dub" Hartley, all Beta's, threatened to register a score, but the Theta Tau line tightened in the shadow of the goal line.
In the final half, the Beta's again marched to the Theta Tau's goal, only to fail to score due to a lack of finishing punch. In the closing minutes of the game, the Beta's lost the ball on downs on the Theta Tau four-yard line. Francis Domingo, Theta Tau, stood in his own end zone and punted out of bounds on the Beta seven-yard line. Domingo was the game standout. He not only kicked and passed exceptionally well, but he seemed to be a mental wizard at knowing where the Beta's passes were going. He continually broke up the Beta pass plays, which succeeded so effectively a week ago in running up a record 45-0 score over the Delta Chi's.
Highlight of the six-man games Friday: Bruker and Falconer paced the Blank's to victory. The Blank's, to date, have tallied 76 points against their opponents 0. Roscoe Hambric and John Whittenberger starred in the Phi Gam "B" triumph. Jim Brown and Frank Stuckey were game standouts in the Phi Psi "B" win.
just three seconds to play when Amerine went across the goal line.
SOME OF THESE DAYS...
To make the situation even more painful, Sooner fans still had fresh in their minds the memory of the 1935 game when, with 30 seconds to go, Kansas had completed a 50 yard pass, Hapgood to Hayes, with a muddy ball to down Oklahoma 7-0.
As has been the case in recent years, the Sooners will be decided favorites Saturday, but this likely will not prevent Norman fans from having chills of foreboding as they remember the past.

TEAM AND STUDENT BODY WERE GREAT
"You can say, that I think the team and student body were wonderful today," said Gwinn Henry, two seconds after the gun sounded, successfully ending the second home game victory for Kansas. Gwinn Henry was very proud of his boys's yesterday, and deservedly, for the team turned in a high class performance.
It is certainly nice to be able to compliment everyone of the Kansas players who took part in the Iowa State fray, and they all should be praised. "Hub" Ulrich, Kansas's great end, tackled in All-American style, and could well match the play of the best wingmen of the country. Chunky Bob Hagen, and his understudy, George Dick, handled the righ flank with more than capable performances.
Steve Meade, 229-pounder, was immovable in the left tackle slot, while there was little to choose between the fine play of Gene Long and Warren Hodges, the two

hefty right tackles. Jay Kern and Bob Fluker turned in their usual bangup games at the guard posts. Paul Hardman, excepting a few lapses in his pivot-passing, did a swell job at Githens' center position.
Ray Niblo finally lived up to the expectations that have been expected. Niblo's ball-carrying left nothing to be desired and his open-field blocking
was greatly improved. Ray Evans was the backhield standout on defense, in addition to running, blocking, and passing well. Marv Vandaveer, who played most of the contest in Ralph Miller's signal-calling role, was excellent in his choice of plays. Miller got into the ball game in the third quarter, and booted three booming kicks. Don Ettinger backed the Jayhawk line in all-star fashion.
RAY EVANS
Added plaudits should be extended to the seven unheralded lineen who tackled and blocked with fire and fury. It didn't seem to make any difference which seven lineen were in the game, the Jayhawks all were tough. Especially commendable was the brilliant goal
line stand in which the Kansas forwards turned into a stone wall on the one-yard line in the fourth quarter, and withstood the Cyclones for four downs.
GAME SIDE-LINES
The game's running star, Ray Niblo, got away six times for dashes of better than 10 yards . . . Miller's three kicks, counting the roll, traveled 58, 67, and 68 yards respectively. . . . Doug Kerr, assistant Iowa State coach, was head coach over Tom Harmon in his high school days in Gary, Indiana. Kerr said, "Harmon was not only a great football player, but a gentleman and a swell guy." Two of Harmon's high school teammates at Gary are Ed Herbert, present Indiana quarterback, and Tim O'Boyle, All-American tackle at Tulane in '40. ...
LaVerna Lewis at guard, and John Heggen at end, were Cyclone stand-outs. . . . Bob Seaburg and sophomore Howard Tippee, Iowa State backs seem to more than make up for the loss of Royal Lohry and Paul Darling. . . Ettinger pulled a couple of beautiful flying tackles. . . Evans executed the
